Stork Central Posted April 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Sometimes what seems like the door closing on a dream is actually the sound of a window opening to a bright new vista. So was the case for our latest new parents, members of The Dandy Dozen Storkjackers, 1/05. Just one week ago, they felt their world had come crashing down around them when a loving mother opted to raise her child herself. But just yesterday, their fate became crystal clear, when another conscientious parent made a different decision for her newborn daughter. She viewed all of Abrazo's waiting parent profiles and in this one, she glimpsed her baby's destiny. It wasn't a question of if they were meant to parent. It was only a matter of when, after all. May each mother's decisions be blessed, and may our newest happy family find every day of their lives together better than the one before it.

mike and stacey Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Hey y'all, First of all thank you to everyone for all their support and prayers. Sorry we haven't posted in awhile, however this has been a very emotional 4 weeks for us-with the lowest lows and now the highest of highs!! Our beautiful baby girl was born on April 5, 2005 at 11:08pm. She was 6lb 3oz and 18 inches long. We have had her for 2 days now, and she is the best thing that has ever happened to us. We know this is what God wanted to happen even though it didn't seem like it 1 week ago. We will post more on our beautiful little girl as well as our travels when we get back to Wisconsin (hopefully by April 15th-our Anniversay!). Meanwhile, you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We hope your journey is smoother than ours, but the end result is absolutely worth it. Love, thoughts and prayers, Mike, Stacey & Gabriela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike and stacey Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 To the Abrazo staff: Thanks for helping us on our trip through the amusement park! We did not like the first roller coaster ride, however the second was the best ride of our lives. Thanks to everyone who was able to make our dreams come true. She truly is a snuggly little button. A special thanks to Angela for delivering Gabriela to us after your business hours on a Friday night. We are looking forward to a safe journey home and will keep everybody posted on our little angel. Hugs, Mike, Stacey & Gabriela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elaine Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 You guys are right! Mickey and I are the proud parents of Makayla Joy Overcast. We are so thrilled and shocked! I knew when they said ,"It's not if, it's when"...they were telling the truth. But we had no idea that it would happen so quickly! It was love at first sight!!! She is a sweet, Hispanic baby girl. We can't wait to post her pic. We are still in Texas through this week and possible next. I am borrowing someone else's computer for a moment, but after I log off here I will not have access to you all until we are back home. Thanks again for the well-wishes and prayers. We are loving being a Mom and Dad! We are definately on Cloud Nine!!!!!!!!! Love, Elaine, Mickey, and Makayla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the phone with Abrazo when your last placement was taking place! We live in Madison. We are big Packer fans!!! We would love to hear from you. Thanks so much for understanding our struggle. We know that it is hard for others to relate. Just like infertility,until it is your heart that is aching. No ache anymore though, just a abundance of joy and smiles! Your children are just beautiful!!!! Looking forward to hearing from you! God Bless You All! The Sweeneys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
